I could use some help. I have rooted my droid 2 global and i am trying to load a custom rom but when i do it fails every time, i am trying to load on cm7. i have android version 2.2 and system version 2.3.20.a955.verizon.en.us.
I have superuser and Droid 2 bootstrap installed. There is a system update but it will not install. I have looked though some threads and some say i have to upgrade versions so that i can down grade to 2.3 and then install custom rom but no one says how to do that.
If you are wanting to go to CM7, you definitely do not want to update the D2G to the latest update first. I haven't done anything with CM, so can't help you there, but if you update to the latest update for the D2G, you can never return to an earlier version.
You can safely go to the .608 update and then come back to Froyo, but not to the .629 (android 2.3.4). It can still be rooted and all, but you are stuck with roms compatible with that kernel.

You aren't using a DROID2 GLOBAL.
A955 is the DROID2, the regular CDMA-only model.
CM7 on the DROID2 is tailored for 2.3.x based kernels and needs 4.5.x firmware to run.
Do not update to 4.5.621; there was a 2.3.3 update for this device which you probably want to install.
To do that you need to either remove the logwrapper hijack or just flash the SBF image of the one featuring Android 2.3.3: 1FF-p2a_droid2_cdma_droid2-user-2.3.3-4.5.1_57_DR2-31-110719-release-keys-signed-Verizon-US.sbf.gz from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/cdma_droid2/list.php (do not use the 2.3.4 one).
Flashing an SBF image will not wipe your user data.
Once on Android 2.3.3, use Super One-Click Root Script or any other similar tool to gain root, rename the Blur Updater (see the DROID2 Global section at http://droid.koumakan.jp/wiki/Welcome — the files listed there should apply to your device as well), install Droid2 Bootstrap Recovery and update it using ROM Manager to the latest version (look here for instructions on updating: http://droid.koumakan.jp/wiki/ClockworkMod_Recovery). Make a Nandroid Backup using CWM, and you're all set.

I recently installed the New Fission ROM for the DX and since I lost SU permissions and no matter how hard I try, I can't get it back,
I've decided to flash the SBF. I have the full 2.2 SBF and the system onlt SBF.
There's one problem, though. Anytime I go into the bootloader and open RSD lite 4.8, it'll say either Chipset 43 not supported (full sbf) or chipset 50 not supported (system only).
I'm on win7 64bit. I can't use the bootstrap because no su permissions so don't suggest that. Thanks ahead of time!
I have an HTC EVO 4G. I rooted it a few days ago using Unrevoked 3 because I wanted the free wifi tether app. I then realize how much rooting my phone really opens up for me. So I downloaded ROM Manager and flashed the ClockworkMod Recovery 3.0.0.5 on it. I then flashed a custom ROM. I wiped all data and flashed it. I am running Fresh Evo 3.5.0.1. I decided I wanted to try a different ROM and I noticed one that has hulu. It is AVA FROYO Z3. I downloaded the ROM, wiped all data, and tried to flash it. When I did I got this error message:
“Amend Scripting (update-script) is no longer supported.
Amend scripting was depreciated by Google in Android 1.5
It was necessary to remove it when updating to the Clockwork Mod 3.0 Gingerbread based recovery.
Please switch to edify scripting (updater-script and update-binary) to create working update zip package”
And then the flash failed and I had to install from a recovery. Anyone know why it wont let me flash this ROM. I would appreciate it.
By the way this is what my software information is:

The new version of CWM (v3) uses a new script to install ROMs. If a ROM hasn't been updated to the new updater script, CWM3 won't be able to install it. You're SOL until AVA gets an update, or you roll CWM back to a v2 build
Sent from my Uber Incredible
Will downgrading to CWM2 have any negative affects on my phone? How would I go about downgrading if I decided to? And can I upgrade back to version 3 if need be in the future?
It shouldn't have any bad effects. You can do it through ROM Manager (Install Older Recovery of something like that, pick one of the v2 options) and you can upgrade to 3 again through ROM Manager when you want to.

And then the flash failed and I had to install from a recovery. I was told that the clockworkmod version 3 uses a script that isnt supported by this rom and I am out of luck until they update their rom or I downgrade back to a clockwork version 2. Will downgrading to CWMv2 have any negative affects on my phone? How would i go about downgrading? and is it possible to upgrade back to CWMv3 if needed?

bump for same question
So I bought Nexus S from second hand recently mostly because it will get official ICS support from Google.
So because it's second hand buy, I really don't know if I'm using original bootloader, kernel, radio etc.
It's rooted (because I have Superuser app), I think it has stock 2.3.6 android (build number GRK39F) and kernel version 2.6.35.7-gf5f63ef, [email protected]#1.
Can someone who use stock android and original kernels confrime to me that this is right version?
I really want to update to ICS using incremental update which I found here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445635) but I'm affraid to don't screw something because of bad experience when I radio bricked my desire
Can I update it to ICS or I need to do unroot or something?
Just download the correct stock ICS rom for your device (if it is I9020T or I9023) ,put it on the SD root and then flash it using the stock or CWM recovery and be done with it (if you need the ICS)
most likely you won't be update by OTA because you are rooted (system file verification will fail)
just download stock ICS ROM and flash it ...
Ota will install fine if its a stock rom with just root. The update script basically checks that everything that should be there is there . If there is something else in there like su it don't matter.
flashing a new rom is the best way to go if you have cwm installed already
I succesfuly flashed ICS and first impressions are very good.
But I think I lost recovery...

flash a CWM recovery via adb , or there is TWRP recovery in DEV section , which is very good .
I have been trying to get my phone to update following the directions for the past year almost and have had no luck.
EDIT*: I am trying to do the OTA update that i am being prompted to do (9.16.6)
I am on:
Android Version 4.1.1
System Verison 9.1.41XT926
Bootloader: unlocked
Safestrap
I am trying to get to Android 4.3 but when I go to voodoo OTA rootkeeper and temp unroot then download and try and install the update my phone reboots like its starting the install but then shows the android the with the ! coming out of him then it restarts and upon restart it tells me that the update failed.
What am I doing wrong and how can I get these updates to work!
Thanks,
Tyler Hegamyer
There isn't an official 4.3. And if your trying to flash a custom 4.3 you need to be unlocked running a custom recovery.

i would suggest abandoning ss unless the rom you want is only supported through ss (rare but possible).
i would:
-disable ss
-use the 1.33 utility in the dev forum to update and return to the latest stock
-use the same utility to root
-use the same utility to flash a custom recovery
--boot into recovery and witpe data/cache/"data-media(cwm recovery specific)" to be sure everything is gone
-choose the rom of your chice from the dev forum and flash in recovery as directed by the rom's dev.
Don't use safe strap. Delete the partion and uninstall it. Use cwm or twrp. And might want to change the title then your not accepting a ota your flashing a custom rom.

I'm also having some troubles. Trying to apply the new update (rooted with stock 4.1.2) keeps resulting in "signature verification failed" in CWM. I have to then wipe the cache so it doesn't keep trying to reboot and apply the update. I've also tried unfreezing all the bloat in TitaniumBackup but got the same results.
Does anyone know a solution for this?
EDIT: I've also tried running OTA rootkeeper app and it still failed.

the ota will not work through a custom recovery such as cwm, you need to put the stock recovery back on.
